Eckhart Tolle

And then the horizontal dimension actually works better.

and you're not dependent on it for your ultimate satisfaction.

You're not dependent on any kind of achievement, attainment, or whatever it is that the horizontal dimension for your art, it may give you some kind of satisfaction, but not the deepest satisfaction.

The deepest satisfaction is inseparable from going more deeply into the present moment and discover the essence of who or what you are as

consciousness itself, presence, here and now.

In other words, you could say you sense the beingness of you.

You sense that you are.

And there is an enormous power there that has no form.

You can't interpret it.

It's the power of aliveness itself, here and now.

It goes far beyond who or what you are as a person.

The person exists on the horizontal dimension, but there is a deeper dimension to who you are that is only discovered in the vertical dimension.

In the vertical dimension,

you are already complete.

There's nothing to achieve there.

You're already full and complete.

On the horizontal, you're not complete and you'll never be complete.

Because no matter what you achieve,

If you become good at one thing, you lose something.

There's always a world of polarities on the horizontal dimension.
